Keller came prepared for his first photoshoot: He slept an extra 2 hours (even 1 year old dudes need their beauty rest, ya know!), he started walking 2 days earlier, and he smiled whenever he saw me and my camera!

One of my favorite attributes of this gorgeous little man is his fuzzy, shimmery red, stand-straight-up-in-the-air, look-at-me hair! I just had to touch it! (It is really soft, in case you are wondering.)

Look at him go! He was always on the move. Needless to say, I was sweating by the end of the photoshoot! (Okay, TMI!)

This is one of my favorite family shots of the day. It’s a really natural shot of the family interacting.

I focused on Keller and his dad’s interaction. It seemed like they were having a special bonding moment. And I love that the mom is not in focus, but you can see her expression. It tells a story and makes you look at it longer to figure out what that story is.

The colorful Autumn leaves were everywhere and snowing on us. It was perfect.
